Mazda secures patent for a rotary engine hybrid system potentially reviving RX-7 sports car model.
Mazda has registered a patent for a new "vehicle drive system" that could bring back its rotary engine technology for a future sports car model. The patent outlines a system where a rotary engine would be used for both battery charging and propulsion, potentially in a revived RX-7. The car could have the capacity for rotary-only driving, electric-only driving, and all-wheel drive in mild-hybrid mode. No details on performance or release date have been confirmed.
